alone as a fairy

At night, just as Chen Zining returned to his room, there was a knock on the door. Chen Zining knew who was coming just by the sound of footsteps without asking.

"Xiaoxue, come in."

Meng Xue pushed open the half-covered door, walked in, and said, "I want to ask you something."

Chen Zining smiled and said, "Just say it."

"Does the Chen family want to move to Qiandao Lake?"

Chen Zining nodded. He was not surprised that Meng Xue could see it. In fact, anyone with a heart could detect it. I believe that Du Tao and others also have the answer in their hearts, and they can't hide it for long.

Seeing that her guess was correct, Meng Xue couldn't help but widen her eyes, and said, "Why? Isn't Tsinghua City pretty good?"

Chen Zining couldn't help laughing, and asked back, "What's so good about it?"

"It's very prosperous, and the situation is stable, not as chaotic as here."

Chen Zining nodded, and said: "You are quite right, but this is for an individual, for a family, especially for a family in the rising stage, the stability and prosperity of Tsinghua City depend on Not necessarily an advantage.”

Meng Xuebingxue was smart, but she hadn't thought of it before. After hearing Chen Zining's words, she nodded slightly as if she realized something in her heart.

Chen Zining continued: "Tsinghua City has been built for more than 3000 years. Not only Changfeng College has established its foundation there, but also hundreds of various forces have established themselves in the city. It is only natural for those who are excluded to be excluded, last time because of the matter of beast control and bone tempering pill, these people joined forces to attack, and finally Changfeng Academy intervened to settle these two matters."

"Baiyangzhuang, which Chenjiacun relies on, was acquired with the support of the academy after the Donghu gang was wiped out. Otherwise, it would be difficult to buy a mature manor with money. The price paid for this is to offend Donghu. The backstage of the Tiger Gang is Governor He Yuantong and the current royal family."

"On the contrary, although Qiandao Lake is chaotic, it doesn't have super-class forces. As long as it is strong enough, it can speed up its development by devouring it. It doesn't have to be like Tsinghua City. It takes several generations to truly integrate into the upper class. You I have also seen that as long as there is no external disturbance on the plains by the lake, ten thousand, one hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands of acres of land can be easily developed, which is unmatched by other places.”

Of course, Chen Zining has other reasons that he didn't mention, including the killing of the secret camp master, the intensification of conflicts with the Ji family, and the inherent defects of Baiyangzhuang. It's not that he doesn't trust Meng Xue, but with Meng Xue's current strength, he knows these In the end, apart from worrying, there's nothing I can do to help, so it's better not to say anything.

Meng Xue asked suddenly: "Am I stupid? I can't help you with anything."

During the day, she proposed to go to the depths of Qiandao Lake with Chen Zining, but Chen Zining refused, saying that he would not take anyone who came with him.

Chen Zining smiled and said: "How could it be? You are only 15 years old this year, and you have already reached the eighth level of warriors. Next year you will definitely be a martial artist, the year after that you will be Wu Zong, and the year after that you will be Wu Zun..."

Meng Xue laughed out loud, and said, "How can you be so exaggerated, besides, no matter how fast you are, I can't catch up with you."

Chen Zining held Meng Xue's slender hand, and a tenderness like water gushed out of his heart, filling his whole heart for a moment, and said, "Believe me, you will definitely catch up with me."

"En." Meng Xue responded lightly, Hongxia reflected her face, and was speechless for a while.

The next day, Chen Zining arranged for a boat to be driven by people from Longkou Town to take Meng Xue, Du Tao and a group of people ashore.

Although the cultivation base of the Chen family was high, the number of them was too small to take care of the whole island. Chen Zining asked Guo Mingfeng to lead more than 70 guards from Longkou Town to stay and help. After ten days or so, Chen Guangming came with his people. go later.

After seeing off Meng Xue and the others, Chen Zining didn't stay long, and also took the best big boat on Huludao, the Canglang, to the center of Qiandao Lake.

The Canglang is a newly built warship. It was originally the ship of Da Mazi, with three masts and fifteen sails. The main mast is ten feet high. There are iron-clad rams, and there are bed crossbows on the front and rear decks.

It's December 20st now, and there are only 20 days left before the Alchemy Conference in Innocence City. Even if Chen Zining has the Cloud Stepping Beast, he can make a rapid progress on the road, and then No. 20 has to start. In this way, The time to go to the lake for treasure hunting is only [-] days, which is very urgent.

Along with Yan Huping, Cao Yu and Xu Shanyuan, there were more than 110 water bandits who surrendered. These more than 100 people were specially selected by Chen Zining. After getting off the boat, with him watching, these people couldn't overturn the big waves, leaving some docile people behind for Chen Guang'an and others to drive.

Chen Zining only brought the three-eyed golden ape and the flame-tailed crane, and left the water-splitting psychic rhinoceros to escort Huludao, and a golden-scaled leopard at the peak of the third order, so that he could kill the remaining water bandits hiding in the mountains and forests .

Regarding the future arrangements for Huludao, Chen Zining asked Chen Guangan to try to recruit some nearby fishermen, break up the establishment with the surrendered water bandits, and gradually integrate them into a whole with the Chen family as the leader.

As for the various nearby forces, including another powerful water bandit—Yapiaodao, they had to start to develop outwards after Chen Guangming and others arrived and integrated the strength of Huludao.

Yan Huping watched Huludao getting farther and farther behind him, and couldn't help but said to Chen Zining: "Mr. Chen, the depths of the lake are actually full of dangers. If you can bring the water-splitting psychic rhinoceros, you can be safe. You but……"

Chen Zining smiled and said, "So you were worried about this, please don't worry, I don't have more than one spirit beast in my hand, it will only be stronger than the Water Spiritual Rhinoceros."

Yan Huping was stunned when he heard this, and wanted to ask if there were any other spirit beasts, but he was worried about being presumptuous, but he finally let go of his mind.

What Chen Zining was referring to was his avatar, the spirit beast Celestial Centipede. After Chen Zining saw this spirit beast on Huwei Ridge, he refined it into his avatar, which was equivalent to his other life. Naturally, he had carefully considered it.

Even by the standards of the cultivation world, the Celestial Centipede is a very powerful monster. When it grows up, it can fly into the sky, breathe out poisonous mist, and shoot golden light from its mouth.

For the growth of his avatar, Chen Zining gave everything he had. Spiritual pills, spiritual cores, and spiritual fruits are always available. Now he has broken through to the late stage of Tonghui, and his strength is equivalent to the peak of the fourth order. Not only the original magical powers are still there, but also With Chen Zining's distraction attached, he can cast all kinds of spells, and is absolutely invincible in the same rank.

Seeing Yan Huping looking at the water bandits on the boat again, Chen Zining smiled and said, "Worried about these water bandits? Since I said that you are the captain, this boat is dominated by you, so you will do what you say. If anyone refuses to accept it, you just need to do it." Say it, and I will feed them to the fish and shrimp."

Xu Shanyuan who was standing behind him hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Sixth Master Yan, no one will dare to make trouble with me under your pressure."

Cao Yu also fawned over him and said, "Don't worry, Sixth Lord Yan, don't bother to take the initiative, and whoever refuses to accept, I will slap him to death."

Chen Zining smiled and said, "You two don't need to flatter. When you come back from this errand, as long as you behave well, you will definitely have a share on Huludao in the future."

The two quickly said yes.
